Japan to shut down remaining reactor on Saturday

Japan to shut down remaining reactor on Saturday

It is not clear how long Japan will remain without such facilities, observers say. Japanese authorities are working to restart two reactors in western Japan to avoid power shortages before summer, when energy demand surges. The Wall Street Journal
